The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in its January 2012 annual point-in-time count found 633,782 people across America were homeless.
The three most commonly cited causes of homelessness for persons and families were a lack of affordable housing, cited by 72 percent, poverty (52%), and unemployment (44%), according to the United States Conference of Mayors, in 2008. (See homeless definition and criteria here.)
